Borderlands: The Zombie Island of Dr. Ned – Review (X360, PS3)
Usually developers wait until their sequel to start working on the complaints from their game, but Gearbox used their first DLC to start righting their very few wrongs. The Zombie Island of Dr. Ned has a better story, more detailed environments, and far more humor. Travel to the new area, Jakobs Cove, can be done at ...
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 – Review (X360, PS3, PC)
Modern Warfare 2 makes all the right moves needed to improve on its predecessor. The campaign has bigger set pieces, co-op missions were added, and competitive multiplayer has been tweaked to near perfection. The single player campaign is far too short, but the multiplayer options are second to none. The story picks up where the last ...
Borderlands – Review (X360, PS3, PC)
Blending genres doesn’t usually work too well, as the games typically turn out as watered down version of each included style. It is because of this that Borderlands is a daring prospect. Not only does it blend two very different types of games, but it attempts to lay claim to a whole new genre, the ...
James Bond: Quantum of Solace – Review (X360, PS3, PC)
Quantum of Solace, along with X-men Origins: Wolverine, seems completely determined to prove to us that movie tie-ins don’t have to mean bad games. It’s no Goldeneye, but the latest entry for James Bond in the video game world is a solid first person shooter that really sucks you into the action with plenty of ...
Mirror’s Edge – Review (X360, PS3, PC)
At first, Mirror’s Edge seems to accomplish the impossible; a satisfying blend of FPS action and acrobatics that would be more common in a third person adventure. There are a few hiccups that put a damper on an otherwise impressive game. However, by the end, the problems become too prevalent to recommend this game. While the ...
Far Cry 2
There is a world out there different than our own. It is a place where bullets solve problems and diamonds are its currency. Here, the biggest gun wins and the worst aim dies. This world is Far Cry 2. Never before has a shooter done such an excellent job of creating a believable world that makes ...
Resistance: Fall of Man
Resistance: Fall of Man was the first shooter to make an appearence on the Playstation 3 Platform. Hyped postively from it’s last successful franchise-Ratchet and Clank and developer-Insomniac, there wasn’t much reason not to be hyped around the title. Unfortunately Resistance didn’t deliver the promise it had made although delivering on most fronts, it hadn’t ...
Haze
Haze was a game which was overhyped all too much for its own good. What gave it the hype? Was it the craze that the creators were Ubisoft? Or maybe the jealousy that Playstation hadn’t had any half decent first person shooters since Resistance: Fall of Man? Calling Haze mediocre or even a piece of ...
Blacksite: Area 51
This game is going to fall victim to bad timing. It is a fun FPS that is going to be overshadowed by the more polished and popular Call of Duty 4. If they had sacrificed their pre-Christmas release date and spent more time touching up the few rough edges, the buzz from COD4 would have ...
Soldier of Fortune: Payback
This game strikes an amazing balance between doing nothing wrong while also doing nothing right. Everything about the game almost seemed like a joke, but it was still fun to play. I always felt like I was one stupid gameplay moment away from quiting the game, but that moment never came. The first thing you will ...
